Dimensionality of the New Ecological Paradigm
Environment and Behavior, 2011Dunlap and colleagues’ New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is widely used and, thus, merits testing to determine whether it should be treated as one scale, a set of independent scales, or a set of correlated subscales. The authors test for all three possibilities using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and find that a second-order factor structure ...

Endorsement of the New Ecological Paradigm
Environment and Behavior, 2007Results from 240 students (120 each from Brazil and Norway) on the 15-item revised New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) show higher endorsement of the ecological paradigm from the Brazilians; suggestions are that this relates to cultural variables rather than to technological development variables. There is no consistent relationship between scores on the NEP

Southern Ocean diversity: new paradigms from molecular ecology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2012Southern Ocean biodiversity reflects past climate, oceanographic, and tectonic changes. Molecular data from contemporary populations carry signatures of these processes. Here, we review new molecular studies on Southern Ocean benthic fauna. Many of these studies focus on species with extensive geographic or bathymetric distributions, and resolve ...

American Anthropologist, 1976
thropologists employed those concepts. I do not think that "exploitation" and "surplus" have these three properties. Finally, I disagree utterly with Dunn on the subjective aspect of exploitation, on the need to know whether or not peasants (or others said to be exploited) feel themselves to be exploited.

The eco‐field: A new paradigm for landscape ecology
Ecological Research, 2004In the spirit of the theory of biocomplexity and of the non‐linear emergent characters of ecological systems, the eco‐field is a new paradigm that integrates the vision of the landscape as a neutral matrix (like a habitat) in which organisms are living, and contemporarily as a product of the human mind.

The New Ecological Paradigm in Social-Psychological Context
Environment and Behavior, 1995The New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale is the most frequently used measure of environmental concern, but it has not been placed in the context of a social-psychological theory of attitude formation or attitude-behavior relationships. Using data from a northern Virginia sample, this study examines NEP in relation to the variables in a theoretical ...

Ecological Worldview and Environmental Knowledge: The “New Environmental Paradigm”
The Journal of Environmental Education, 1986Abstract With the increased societal awareness of environmental issues, social scientists have expanded their examination of environmentally related topics. One component of this expansion has been the generation and growth of social theory which has the human-environment relationship at its core.

Aesthetic Implications of the New Paradigm in Ecology
The Journal of Aesthetic Education, 2008Thomas Kuhn describes a scientific paradigm as a conceptual framework or set of background beliefs and values held by members of a scientific community. Part of a scientific education, he argues, is learning how the background beliefs and values that underlie scientific practices articulate a paradigm.

Creating New Paradigms of Understanding: Action and Ecology
2015As the final concluding chapter of my book, I have focused on certain significant implications of the conceptualisations of nature in Indian thought on moral action and conservation. The applicability of these interpretations for creating a framework of ecological ethics is analysed.

Ecology and Labour: Towards a New Societal Paradigm
1999A radical critique of past socialist theory and practice is now widely recognized to be a necessary precondition for a convergence between socialists and the new social movements [NSMs]. But the ‘ideal revision’ required is really so profound that it amounts to the construction of a new societal paradigm.
